Allison at 2 years

Allie has changed so much in the last couple weeks it seems... or grown rather. I feel like she is such a big girl now. Today I picked up some blocks for her (we are going to work on the alphabet now that she has her 1-10 down) and she was sitting at her table playing with them and said to me, "Look, I make this mommy!" indicating her tower of blocks. She speaks in full sentences constantly and melts my heart every time I hear here say "mommy". I'm not really sure when she crossed over from the baby that said mama to the little girl that now says mommy.

At her 2 year appointment her pediatrician was pretty impressed with how far along she is developmentally. She says she is on schedule, if not ahead of where she should be, with how well she understands and communicates. She is 30.5 lbs and 35".

She gets a kick out of tickling everyone, having the kitties lick her head and her favorite thing to say right now is "Mommy, come here!" which I hear constantly. Her favorite movie has recently switched from Tinkerbell to The Jungle Book and she loves frogs. According to her, we have a pink frog residing somewhere in our house.... not sure where she got that from, but she refers to it quite often. She is very helpful when it comes to getting me anything for Adrian and hates to have to put away her toys (we are working on that one). She loves going to Holly and Gavin's house once a week to play (provided I assure her I will be going with her) and behaves so beautifully there I can't help but be a little proud of the both of us (me for training her and her for listening).
